Exceptional, responsive and understanding...

I deal with a lot of attorneys (of every description)...essentially on a daily basis. So I have seen pretty much "all that there is". I was referred to Wendy by my Chapter 11 attorney when I found myself in a crisis situation (and trust me, crisis is not new to me, but this situation had me over the... top= foreclosure of my mothers home). At my first meeting with Wendy, I immediately felt like I was in competent and comforting hands. And trust me, I am a hard judge of character. Wendy immediately developed a comprehensive plan, kept in communication frequently and even responded to my midnight "panic" episodes, with solid reassurance. Any questions that we had regarding "threats" from the opposition, Wendy handled diligently and in a professional fashion. I cannot express how reassuring this is when facing foreclosure. She is extremely well versed in her area of expertise= so there wasn't any kind of surprise that she hasn't seen before (and I have been in that spot with attorney's the past). Wendy has been an absolute breath of fresh air at a time I really needed it most. I refer to to everyone with confidence.

Experienced professional, steadfast guidance and a superb attorney

I first contacted Wendy for a consultation and several minutes into our conversation, I knew that she was the right attorney for me. Besides being experienced and very knowledgeable, she has an extremely reassuring and comforting manner. Wendy is honest and has an unbiased and direct approach to the ...legal process which is then followed by how she can help with the best and most effective strategies to manage specific issues. I never felt pushed into making any decisions, and my questions and concerns were always met with understanding, reassurance and most importantly...practical solutions. Wendy is very approachable and always responsive, making herself available to speak with me - both before and after I hired her. These qualities in an attorney are extremely valuable rare to find. Wendy's expertise and professionalism was instrumental in helping me to reach a successful outcome and would highly recommend her services.
